To answer the first question, I&#8217;ve been traveling with the national team\u2014you&#8217;re in Thailand or you&#8217;re in Cuba, you&#8217;re in different locations, and a lot of times that when you&#8217;re in these countries, you do not have access to lifting weights. So one day I just said, you know, I brought my skipping rope and I just started skipping.<\/p>\n<p>If I can&#8217;t get access to a gym and so on and so forth for whatever reason, I just skipped. So what happened, I was in Cuba actually\u2014a national competition in Cuba. And I just said, you know what, I&#8217;m going to skip for 12 minutes and I&#8217;m going to do it every day.<\/p>\n<p>So while I was in Cuba for a week, I skipped 12 minutes a day. So I just continued that, just to find a rhythm, something easy. Every now and then I might skip miss one day or two days, but actually never two days in a row, only once in a while, I might miss one day. So I just been on this rhythm 12 minutes a day.<\/p>\n<p>Then this COVID-19 thing hit, and I hear a lot of people or, you know, I don&#8217;t have a gym and this and that. And it&#8217;s basically my message to people. So I skipped 12 minutes a day, I posted on the stories and social media. It&#8217;s just about consistency. Just do something. If you can&#8217;t find 12 minutes in your day, there&#8217;s a problem.<\/p>\n<p>So 12 minutes as an extract and field guide we used to do these 12 minutes circuits and so on and so forth. There&#8217;s no rhyme or reason for 12 minutes. 12 minutes for me is quick, simple something I can relate to. You can skip for three minutes, six minutes, 9 minutes, 12 minutes, 15 minutes\u2014whatever works for you. 12 minutes just works for me.<\/p>\n<p>I found that rhythm, I get up in the mornings and some days I don&#8217;t want to skip, but that rhythm just gets me going. It starts my day or even if I don&#8217;t skip in the morning, I skip later on. It just makes me feel good, and that consistency of really sticking to something over and over and over and over and over and over, it just makes you better, makes you feel better\u2014it makes me feel better.<\/p>\n<p>I just want people to promote some type of consistency for their better quality of life. It&#8217;s just simple, walk 12 minutes, whatever you want to do. That&#8217;s the main thing as a coach who loves to work out, I go to these different countries, may not have access to the training or to get a good training, so this is something I put it in my suitcase. It&#8217;s light, I can go anywhere, skip anywhere for 12 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>So for me basically there are no excuses, none whatsoever, not to skip 12 minutes a day. So that is the primary reason. It seems like it&#8217;s been motivating people all over the place and I&#8217;m excited for that.<\/p>\n<p>Do I skip 12 minutes straight?<\/p>\n<p>No, I pretty much skipping clips. I started with 25 at a time, 50 at a time, 75 at a time, a hundred at time. Now I do a hundred clips at a time the most I&#8217;ve done every now and then I&#8217;ll go for a record and most I&#8217;ve done are a thousand skips in 12 minutes. So I&#8217;ll do a hundred, take a little break, do another hundred. So my break normally is some kind of Ab work; I&#8217;ll do a hundred and go do some 12, 25, 30, 50 abs, whatever is coming right back. So I just keep moving. I am moving consistently for that 12 minutes. I don&#8217;t stop, but I superset or couple that skipping with usually an abdominal exercise.<\/p>\n<p>I got these ropes I can&#8217;t remember the exact name by Jump Rope or whatever, but they are different\u2014weighted, I use weighted ropes. So I started from a half a pound, now I consistently use a pound rope. I find the two-pound rope or a pound and a half rope are too cumbersome every now and then I use it. So I have different weights with the ropes. So I use that a pound rope, which is much different, skipping a hundred reps at a time with a pound weighted rope than it is with a normal skipping rope. It&#8217;s much harder. It&#8217;s just to get your forms nice and jacked. Some aesthetic stuff in there too.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also been questions people asking me: where did I get the rope from? I got it from Jump Rope and I use the pound ropes specifically for me. So there&#8217;s all different variations from a half a pound, pound, etc.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lpsathletic.com\/dominate-discussions\/\">Watch or listen to other Dominate Discussion episodes here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Why do I skip 12 minutes a day and do I skip 12 minutes straight?
